Description

A healthy and flourless oatmeal apple cake perfect for breakfast or dessert. This moist and flavorful cake combines oats, fresh apples, honey, and warming cinnamon, baked to a soft texture without any added flour.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp butter or coconut oil


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180C/350F to prepare for baking the cake.
  2. Prepare the Batter: Place all ingredients except 1/4 cup oats into a blender or bowl. Blend or process until smooth. Then fold in the remaining 1/4 cup oats to add texture.
  3. Prepare Baking Pan: Line a small baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removing the cake easier.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely after baking. For best flavor and texture, refrigerate the sliced cake in an airtight container for at least one hour before serving.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the cake warm or chilled for breakfast or as a healthy dessert option.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with 3-4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar if you run out of honey or maple syrup. Adjust sweetness by tasting the batter before baking.
  • Using a smaller baking pan results in a fluffier texture as seen in the pictures.
  • Letting the cake cool and refrigerating it improves the flavor and texture.
  • For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil and a plant-based yogurt substitute.
